Comparing MALDI-ToFMass Spectrometry with Molecular and Biochemical Methods in Identifying Enterococcus Faecium and Enterococcus FaecalisIsolated from Clinical Samples

Abstract Background and Objective: Enterococci are Gram-positive members of human gastrointestinal flora,in Dairy products and environment. they have emerged as important causes of opportunistic nosocomial infections in recent years. In this study we aimed to investigat and compare the efficiency of MALDI-TOFmass spectroscopy method through Biochemical and Molecular methods for detecting Enter...

Characterization of fengycin homologues produced by Bacillus subtilis K1 by MALDI-TOF tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS/MS)

Mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry characterization of protein patterns, protein markers and whole proteomes for pathogenic bacteria.

There have been many recent reviews published on MALDI-TOF MS (matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight) MS (mass spectrometry) for identification of bacteria particularly with relevance to clinical microbiology. MALDI-TOF MS is now a mature technique for bacterial identification with great promise. The purpose of this review is to put into perspective MALDI-TOF MS and other w...

Proteomics of bovine myelin sheath: characterization of a truncated form of P0 by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry.

The glycoprotein P0, the major structural protein of the peripheral nerve myelin, plays a critical role in holding myelin lamellae together via interaction of both extracellular and cytoplasmic domains. Mutations in the human P0 gene give rise to severe and progressive forms of dominantly inherited peripheral neuropathies like CMT1B. Here we report on the characterization of a bovine P0-derived...
